Audit of USAID/Honduras’s Trade, Investment, and Competitiveness Program

To help Honduras realize expected benefits from the Central American Free Trade Agreement, USAID/Honduras entered into a $4.3 million cooperative agreement with the Foundation for Investment and Export Development (FIDE) in May 2005. The cooperative agreement focuses on creating a policy analysis unit within FIDE, helping FIDE support the “economic cabinet” within the Government of Honduras, and helping FIDE support the Honduras Private Enterprise Council.

This audit will (1) determine whether FIDE is achieving planned results and (2) assess the impact of FIDE’s activities.
